Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) are important elements of a sustainability mindset. As partof an initiative to develop a new program in Sustainability Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez,and to evaluate the growth of a sustainability mindset among participants, we performed a qualitative analysis ofresults from a cohort of first year students (5 men, 2 women) who completed a 1-credit JEDI seminar as part of theirenrollment in the program.

After a suitable period has elapsed teams are called to present the solutions. Calling on student than asking volunteers are essential to make sure all students are involved in the thinking process. • Analytical, critical and creative thinking is provoked.

Since about 70 percent of Americans are past the school age, updating theirtechnological literacy requires access to opportunities outside of formal education. Youngergenerations have yet to develop their technological skills and interests, but opportunities for thatin a structured, pre-college education are limited.
